Meryl
Streep proved on Monday night that there's not a role she won't tackle.
The
three-time Oscar winner put on a fat suit and lathered on the orange makeup as
she channeled presidential hopeful, Donald Trump, during the annual Shakespeare
in the Park Public Theater Gala at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
Streep imitated Trump alongside her Mamma Mia! co-star, Christine Baranski, who
was impersonating former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who's also
running for president.
The
performance was a twist on the song "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" from
Cole Porter’s Broadway musical, Kiss Me, Kate, which is based off of The Taming
of The Shrew. During the duet, Streep, as Trump, recited, "You’ll let me
know why it is all the women say no."
Baranski,
as Clinton, crooned back, "Brush up your Shakespeare and the women you
will wow. ...Just declaim a few lines from Othello, and they'll think you're a
hell of a fella."
Trump's
road to landing the republican presidential nomination has been met with some
contention from those in both political parties. ET spoke with Fox News' Megyn
Kelly after her headline-grabbing feud with the aspiring politician.
"Donald Trump is a lot of things," she said. "Even in the midst
of coming after me, he can be charming. It's very confusing. One minute you're
thinking, 'What?' and then you're laughing."
